Throwing Shade by Deborah Wilde
5.0
** I received a copy of Throwing Shade from Xpresso Book Tours and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions are my own and not solicited in any way,**
Throwing Shade by Deborah Wilde is the first book in her Magic After Midlife series. Ms Wilde is a new author to me so I have to say this was a rather intriguing book with a fantasy theme. So we had witches, vampires, werewolves, Golem and of course Miriam who's a Banim Shovavim (IE: very magical). I admit I had to look a lot of the terms up but that's what gives this book it's pizzazz. This book is very good and I give it 4.8 Stars. Plus who wouldn't love Miri's snarky "I'm a woman in my forties who's remembered how powerful she can be"
Miriam Feldman has hit the mid-life age of 40 and when she finds out her BFF Judith has gone missing the quest to find her will take her to a hidden magical world within Vancouver, BC. She'll enlist a grumpy french werewolf Laurent. She'll also have to keep her magic cloaked from her ex-husband Eli and teen daughter Sadie. I loved Tatiana, Ava and even grumpy Emmet who loses his leg but still kick arse when he needs to defend himself.
I look forward to the next book and the adventures of Miri and Laurent because there's a definite story waiting to be told there.
